Storm on the Lake of Constance in 1974 - one boat lost
11-06-2008
by Kaspar Stubenrauch, 11-06-2008
The documents section is now containing the story on the loss of Z-95 in 1974. The long standing rumour about a 2nd boat lost was clearified by comment from Peter Krohmer: That boat went to another harbour for shelter, without informing the race committee.

Hermann Schwaderer, back then owner of 5.5 G-11, has commented on 5.5 S-51:
She had been sold to Swiss ownership, to become 5.5 Z-95. The boat was lost during a race in front of Meersburg, German side of Lake Constance, next to another 5.5m which sunk in the same race.
